I am about to add Down and out in the Magic Kingdom to my inventory, so if anyone is interested just leave a comment on my profile. Gone!

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom sounds interesting. I've only read his Little Brother which is a YA book. Is the email delivery one of those chapter a day things?

I am halfway to 100! Woo-Hoo! Book #50 - Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow This was the first book I tried reading through DailyLit's email delivery service. I enjoyed the book and I enjoyed the delivery service too! The book takes place in the future, when people ...

I love Eastern Standard Tribe and Down And Out In The Magic Kingdom! Must have missed Little Brother when it came out - how is it?

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow is first person. Eastern Standard Tribe and Down And Out In The Magic Kingdom are as well I think. The Heritage by Will Ashon is first person. To be honest it isn't something I find particularly memorable.

... Brother and was toying with the idea of reading some more of his so it will be interesting to see what you think. I take Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is his best?

I am actually of two minds about Cory Doctorow's stuff. I thought Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom was really good (the best of his stuff that I have read), Eastern Standard Tribe was OK (not bad but not great - not sure I would recommend it), and Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town ...

I gave up on Down and out In the Magic Kingdom Plot is like a dozen other books I've read. There is nothing new to keep your attention. And the writing is dull.

41. Down and Out In the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow Since they were making a movie of this I thought I'd give the book a try. Just couldn't get into the story. The writing is dull and the story line is boring.
